The Transfer On,oael.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: notice tha.
various articles are appearing in the Washing
ton press, saying that all wish the signal SER
vice weather bureau to be turned over to civil
rule, and that all the officers OF the corps wish
to be transferred to the line. This is not so.
The great majority Of the members of the sig
nal corps are very much opposed to any such
transfer. These articles are probably prompted
by some malicious. disappointed persons, and
is the result OF some personal piques .
The service is much more efficient and man.
aged far cheaper under military discipline
than 1t would be under civil authority. OBJ.
servers now know that after life spent in the
service they retire on pay. consequently they
perform their duties for loss than a civilian,
conscious that any hour may cut off his official
head, would do the same work for. Tri.daly
telegrams are sent to Washington from the
various signal stations, and, knowing that u
court martial would severely punish any vii.
iul neglect, observers are very careful. A civil.
ian, with the same small pay, would not care
u he were turned OIL, that being his only pun.
ishment.
i assert positively that the members of the
corps prefer TO remain under military control,
and that the country at large is of the same
opinion. Very respectfully,

Obliged to employ secretaries at their own ex-

millionaires and men of wealth."
